The Role

The Safety Assurance for Effective Autonomous Driving Software (SAFEADS) department is part of GMs Global Product Safety, System, and Certification (GPSSC) organization. Our mission is to help GM deliver trustworthyautomated-drivingproducts. As the central authority for automated driving system (ADS) safety, SAFEADS brings together experts from across the company to develop andmaintaina comprehensive safety case including safety performance indicators for GMs automateddriving technologies.GMs vision is zero crashes, zero emissions, and zerocongestion,and autonomous vehicle safety is essential to achieving that vision.

The AV Safety Engineering Analytics (AVSEA) team is the resource supporting teams and stakeholders from around the company to bring a broad range of data and analytics capabilities to bear in AV safetydecision making. This teammaintainsproficiencyintegrating continuously flowing data from vehicle systems, company databases,third-partyservices, and federal and state agencies to inform system design and quantify driving performance.

As a senior leader in the AV Safety Engineering Analytics team, you will work withcross functionalpartners and internal customers to prototype, define, andproductionizeperformance metrics and sufficiency criteria. You will engage deeply with stakeholders to understand their challenges andneeds andcollaborate to develop innovative solutions.

Role Overview

This role willreportto the AVSEA Director. The Safety Engineering Analytics Lead will drive AVSEA impact across three primary dimensions:

• Research and development program execution

• Technical andnontechnicalcommunications

• Leadership,strategyand operations management,within AV-SEA and the larger SAFE ADS department.

This is a People Leader role that owns the AV-SEA strategy setting with broad latitude in approach and recommendations that are expected and relied on by senior leadership. This individual will setobjectives, and KPIs that directly support GMs safety and business goals. The leader will shape AV safety analytics direction and champion large-scale change in line with GM Behaviors, delivering critical outcomes and long-term results.

WhatYoullDo

Research and development program execution

• Define andmaintainan AV safety analytics strategy and roadmap that connects DDT metrics, Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs), benchmarking, counterfactual modeling, and metrics to program milestones and safety cases.

• Ensure that DDT safety metrics and benchmarking outputs are discoverable, reproducible, and traceable, with clear data lineage, assumptions, and ownership.

• Leadmembers ofAV-SEAteaminscoping, executing, and reviewing end-to-end safety analyses

Technical andnon-technicalcommunications

• Translate complex analytic work (e.g., benchmarking, SPI roadmaps, counterfactual analyses) into clear, structured safety narratives for senior leadership, governance bodies, andcrossfunctionalstakeholders.

• Overseetheanalysisproductsof AVSEA analytics activities, including internal content and external messaging in support of AVSEA and SAFEADS safety science and analytics activities.

• Establish and steward safety messaging that aligns internal dashboards, technical design documents, safety cases, andexternalfacingmaterials around consistent safety metrics and evidence.

• Operate as SAFE-ADS and AV-SEA interfacetoGM communications and marketing related to safety analytics and safety performance monitoring methods.

• Identifyopportunities for, and lead collaborative publications work, including technical white papers, conference publications, policy briefs, social media content, and external safety reports that accurately represent AVSEAs work while supporting regulatory andpublictrustobjectives.

Leadership,strategyand operations management

• Be thedaytodayinterface between AVSEA and autonomy and systems engineering, validation and test, simulation,productand program management, legal, and communications to ensure safety analytics aredecisionrelevantandtimely.

• Coordinate with GPSSC teams, partner organizations, external stakeholders, and industry associationstoidentifystrategic needs, alignsafetyanalyticsinitiatives, and organize joint workstreams.

• Represent AVSEA in internal review forums, safety governance meetings, andcrossfunctionalworking groups, driving clarity on safety metrics, pass/fail thresholds, and program readiness.

• Mentor and coach AVSEA team members in strategy, stakeholder engagement, and communication, helping individual contributors connect technical work to safety impact and program decisions.
